lid, The Memorial Diplomatique contains the follows in; notice rf Garibaldi's speeches in England : At London the Conference commences its labours, Garibaldi takes leave of his entertainers. All this is as it should be. We will not row revert to the conduct of the too famous Italian agitator. But, whatever may have been the object of his journey, whatever may be its future results, one great and serious truth has been added to history, it is this —that Southern Italy is indebted to Engand to the bloody anarchy which has laid her waste for the last four years. " Represented by Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell," said Gari baldi, "the English Government has done much for Italy. Without Admiral Mundy I should not have boon able to pass the Straits of Messina, and Naples would still be in the power of the Bourbons." How sad soever such fIN owals may be, we must acknowledge, we must meditate upon them. They make the complicity of Englnd plain, a complicity which hitherto her statesmen have steadily denied. The consequences of such complicity are but too manifest. In destroying the security of Piedmont, and the tranquillity of Italy, E ng l an d has compro mised at one blow the political position of Europe. The Peace of Villafranca being rendered ineffectual, the powers have been violently thrown into a false position, and the whole of Eastern Europe has ex perienced an uneasiness, which continues on the increase. 'What did Napoleon the Third, a grieved and anxious witness of the painful necessities of war, seek for after the victory of Solferino ? He has told himself. Desirous of preserving Europe from the outbreak of revolutionary passions, be wished for a solid peace, a general disarmament. England alone, paralysing his generous efforts, opposed her self to this. By her fault the stipulations of Villa franca remained a dead letter, and the Italian Go vernment was dragged into the course of culpable ambitions and foolish hopes, in which it continues to this day. Then, at a later period, not content with having provokers the movement and encou raged the insurrection, England, by her example and her importunities, induced Russia and Prussia to recognise the accomplished facts. Henceforth, there is no difficulty in understanding the devia tions of general politics in Europe during the last four years. After this, how can we be astonished when we now see Prussia attacking, destroying, not indeed directly, but by her actions, the Treaty of London, whose application she strives to render impossible ? She does no more than follow the lessons she has received. And from whence have they been given ? Who has impelled her to dismember piecemeal at the Kingdom of DEnmark ? Is it France—always accused of secret designs, and to whom all revolu tions are gladly imputed ? No ; we must say that it is those powers who are reputed to be the most Conservative on whom rests the present responsi bility of the disturbance and uneasiness which per. vades Europe. NOINEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Lower rates now prevail in the general discount market. The simultaneous appearance this morn ing •of two favourable returns from the Banks of England and Franco have produced a feeling of satisfaction for the present and of hope for the future. More money is also known to be in the possession of the bangers and bill brokers, and as there is less enquiry for accommodation, competi tion has caused the quotations to descend to 81 per cent. for first class bills, About £63,000 in gold was taken into the Bonk yesterday, The steamer La Plata has been announced from the West Indies with £220,000. The directors of the Bank of Wales (Limited) have concluded arrangements for the transfer of the o ld - established private banking business of Messrs. Lock, Hub], and Co., of Pembroke and Tenby. Mr. Joseph Canham, M.D., St. Lawrence, Rams gate (late Burgess, Canham, and Co., bankers), one of the partners of the Ramsgate Bank, recently merged into the South-Eastern Banking Company, has joined the to ,rd of the latter establishment. Mr William James Watson, of Messrs. Haggard and Co., has joined the Board of the Scottish and Universal Finance Bank. During the last few days there has been a mo derate amount of business transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have been in rather active request at full rates, while there has been a better demand for coffee, superior de. scriptions of colonial having realised enhanced prices. In rice, fruit, and spices there has been about an average business, while the tallow market has continued very dull, and quotations have shown less firmness. The Bank of England return for the week to Wednesday last shows some important changes. The other securities have been increased through the high rate for money charged in the open mar ket, but the bullion and reserve of notes have like vise received some large additions.

Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 67c. —Firm. The market for the English Funds presents a very animated appearance. No fresh political con troversies arising, and the reassuring facts shown in the Bank returns of England and France, have produced a salutary effect. Consols are 3-16th better than yesterday, the quotations being 91-Z t for money, and 901-, 1, less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881 89 ; the 5 per Cents., 1873, 1072 ; March Exchequer Bills, 1 1 3 s. die.; and June do. 4s„ die.; and India 5 per Cents. 105; Bank Stock is 237, 239, and 217, 2181.

Prices, however, show rather more firmness. Lancashire and Yorkshire and North Western have each improved 53. ; Caledonian and Great West ern 10s., and North Stafford £l, while Great North ern A Stock has advanced 5.5., and Manchester, Sheffield, and London, 10. The Foreign and Colonial nuclertaliiegs show little variation of importance.

The Hochstift were not in any way concerned in the unpleasant occurrence which took place at the Shaksperian Festival at Frankfort on the 23d ult., but that, on the contrary, at their own festival on the 24th, every allusion to politics was carefully avoided, and nothing transpired which was not in strict keeping with the feelings expressed in their address to the English nation, presented at the Stratford Festival by Professors Max Muller and Leitner, or in the speeches Which those gentlemen delivered on that OCCaeion.

The petitioner had a shop in St. George's-street, and a pri vate residence at Blundell-terrace, Leeds. Mary Ann Turner was in the petitioner's service in 1861, and shortly after she went to the place Mr. Kitchen used to come frequently. When Illr. Hick was at home he remained only a short time, but when he was absent he used to stay for a considerable time. She heard "a scuffling noise" while Mr. Kitchen and Mrs, Hick were in the parlour together, and when she eatered the room they both rose from the sofa. On another occasion she had seen Mr. Kitchen's dress disordered, and she had seen him and Mrs. Hick kissing each other. Winifred Brown said she had seen Kitchen frequently at the petitioner's house. On one occasion she discovered them in a bed-room, and under circumstances that could leave no doubt of the nature of the intimacy that existed between them, Mr 0 verend, for the respondent, said he should not deny that adultery had been committed ; but then the respondent was about the last person in the world who should have come into this court to seek for damages for the loss of his wife's society. The petitioner had himself been a most abandoned person ; and he should call before the jury evi dence to prove that the petitioner was in the habit of attending the most immoral places in Leeds, in the com pany of women of the most disreputable character. After the jury had heard the evidence he felt they would at once assess the damages at the lowest coin current in England, The trial was proceeding when we went to press.

(Before Sir J, P. Wilde and a Common Jury.) DICK V. HICK AND KITCHEN. This was a suit by the husband , a turner and ironmon ger at Leeds, for a dissolution of marriage, on the ground of his wife's adultery with the corespondent, a dyer in a large way of business at Leeds. Both defendants denied the adultery, recriminated the charge, and further alleged cruelty and misconduct conducing to the adultery. Mr Field, in stating the case, said that the parties were married in January, 1859, and there were two children issue of the marri age. The husband treated his wife kindly, and they app eare d to live on happy terms unt il last June, when the petiti oner discovered circumstances that induced him to suspect his wife's infidelity. The corespon dent was introduced to the petitioner shortly after the mar riage, and then became a frequent visitor, particularly dur ing his aLsence. Presentation of a One Hundred Guinea Nugget to Mr. and Mrs, Charles Sean (From the Ballarat Evening Post of Marsh 4.) The theatre was again crowded to overflowing on Thursday evening to witness a repetition of Mr. Kean's historical portrait of Louis the Eleventh. Having fully noticed the lifelike picture upon a previous occasion, it is only necessary to say that the points of the character were taken with the same intellectual appreciation, on the part of the audience, that so strikingly marked its first per formance. The event of the evening, was however, the handsome presentation of the nugget of gold to Mr. and Mrs. Kean, and the enthusiastic ap plause, cheers, waving of handkerchiefs, and other demonstrations of approval that endowed the de livery of the address, is a very satisfactory proof that the compliments it contains is in strict keep ing with public opinion. Mr. Robert Lae Poor Trench read the following address : To Mr and Mrs Charles Kean. Your friends and admirers in Ballarat cannot permit you to leave this town without conveying to you the as surance of their respect and esteem, and expressing the extreme gratification you have afforded them in the display of your genius during your present visit. The crowded audiences which have nightly witnessed your admirable performances afford the best evidence that your noble art is justly appreciated in this goldfield. It cannot be the less gratifying to you to know that the suc cess which has attended your dramatic performances in Ballarat, as well as throughout the colonies, has been en hanced by the public appreciation of the private worth and social virtues which you have brought to the adornment of your profession. (Cheers,) We feel that the success to which we have referred is no less honourable to ourselves than to you, and we are espe cially proud that in no portion of the colony has that sue • cess been more marked than in Ballarat, (Loud cheers,) We beg you to accept this nugget taken from our auri ferous soil, as a remembrance of your visit to our goldfield. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) We cherish the hope that when you have retired from the arduous labour of the profession you have so long and worthily adorned into the ease and comfort of private life, accompanied, as you sarely will be, with that which you have already so well secured, "Honour, love, troops of friends," the recollection of your short sojourn in the metro. polis of the goldfields will not be the least pleasing re miniscence of your professional career, (Cheers.) In now bidding you farewell we cordially wish you the enjoyment of health and happiness, and subscribe ourselves, with every feeling of respect and esteem, YOUR FRIENDS AND ADMIRERS, Mr Kean who was most enthusiastically received, and who was delayed for some time by the repeated plaudits of the audience, delivered the following address ; Mr. Trench, Ladies, and Gentlemen— I fear that I can but very inadequately express how gra ,fied and honoured Mrs. Kean and myself feel at the com pliment you have paid us. We are truly proud of such a mark of your favour and esteem, and beg to assure you that this will remain indelibly impressed upen our memory as one of the brightest days in the calendar of our lives. I arrived in Ballarat much enfeebled by a severe and serious illness; but its pure and invigorating air, combined with the warmth of our reception, and aided by the exhi larating influence of the most brilliant success, has acted like a charm, and almost restored my wonted health and strength. (Cheers.) It is a matter of self-congratulation that we have been enabled to visit this extraordinary and most interesting city, with the hill of gold and mines of wealth—where all appears so new, so strange, so wonderful. (Cheers.) It strikes the stranger with astonishment to walk through your wide and spacious streets, adorned with hand some stone buildings, substantial shops, and noble edifices for the sick and poor ; to see the town teeming with life and animation, occupied by an active, industrious, and in telligent population; and to be reminded that scarcely more than 12 years ago this place was a lonely wilderness. Yet upon this spot, so recently a wild and rugged bush-land, now stands a temple dedicated to the drama, whose director, through the liberal spirit of the inhabitants, is enabled to pay us £lOO for each performance. (Loud cheers.) On Monday next we commence a farewell engagement in Melbourne previous ,to our final departure from the colonies. After which we purpose on our way home to visit another land of gold. Although I have passed nearly six years of my life, at different periods, in the United States of America, I have never yet had an op portunity of seeing California, but judging from the cordial reception extended to my wife and myself in all other parts of that vast continent, we have every reason to anticipate a generous welcome professionally and socially. But go where we may, we shall never, never forget our kind friends here, from whom we shall part with deep re gret. Let me assure you, Ladies and Gentlemen, that the precious gift you have this evening bestowed upon us will be retained with feelings of pride and gratitude while we live. When we are no more it shall descend as an heir loom in our family, to be regarded by those who follow us as an emblem of the "golden opinions" won by us in Ballarat." (Enthusiastic Applause.) Mr Hoskins then came forward, and said, " Mr Kean, I cannot permit this occasion to pass without thanking you for your liberality in playing for my benefit this evening, and at last consenting to remain fur to-morrow and Satur day, after repeatedly refusing my offer of £230 for the two nights. (Cheers.) The deputations at last prevailed with you, and I am most happy you have consented, because I know the general satisfaction it will give the patrons of this theatre to behold yourself and Mrs. Kean in two such Shaksperian plays as King John and Macbeth. Indepen dently of the pleasure you have expressed at your visit to Ballarat, it must be most gratifying to you to find here so much appreciation of histrionic talent and such wealth to pay for it, particularly as Mr Coppin informs me that you have played one night here to larger receipts by nearly £5O than in Melbourne or Sydney. (Loud cheers.) The rememtrance of your visit will ever be a pleasing one to me, and I would fain express a hope that you have re-esta blished the taste for dramatic literature here, and that the theatre may onco again proudly hold its own among the temples dedicated to art in this young and flourishing colony." The curtain fell amidst the most enthusiastic applause and waving of handkerchiefs. The nugget presented to Mr. and Mrs. Lean was a specimen of gold and quartz, found about six months ago in New Chum Gully, and bought by Messrs. Witt skowski Bros. and Co., from whom it was purchased by the presentation committee for one hundred guineas. The specimen measures 42 inches by 3$ inches, and is of a rough oval shape, the intermix ture of white quartz and pure bright gold being very beautiful, MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE, A small supply of English wheat was on sale here to day. The trade, however, was by no means active either for red or white qualities; nevertheless, prices ruled firm. With foreign wheat the market continues to be but mo derately supplied. In most descriptions sales progressed slowly, at the rates current on Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderato request, on former terms. Malting barley was less active than on Monday, yet prices, ruled stationary. Grinding and distilling barley moved off slowly, at late rates. Malt changed hands slowly, at late rates. The supply of oats on sale, was tolerably large, and both English and foreign parcels sold heavily, at barely stationary prices. Beans and peas were in but moderate request, at previous Currencies. For flour there was, a moderate demand, at Monday's quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The weather up to 600 yards, was exceedingly unfavourable, and though it improved at the next ranges, the delays had been so many that the sun was down when the 900 yards firing was going on, thus rendering it almost impossible to see the signals. There ivas a hot north wind at 300, 400, 500, and 600 yards, which changed to south at 700. The wind was strong, but generally steady. The following is the aggregate scoring.

Lord CHELMSFORD said with regard to the bill intro , duced by his noble and learned friend on the woolsack, the second reading of which was given notice of on the paper this evening, he had placed into his hands some important returns made by county court judges in reference to the imprisonment for debt. He thought they should have been laid upon the table before the bill was introduced, and he hoped the second reading would be postponed. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had already stated that he would, in deference to the opinion of any noble lord, postpone the second reading. He would have much pleasure in postponing the motion for the second reading until the first day on which the house would sit after Whitsuntide. THE DANO-GERMAN WAR, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH drew attention to this question, and after commenting strongly on the conduct of the allied armies, characterising the war as a war against freedom carried on by despotic Powers ; he said he hoped the Conference would look into the doings of the Germans, and when they considered the subject of the contributions that had been imposed by the Prussians, they should be informed that whilst war has its rights humanity has rights also. (Hear, hear.) He con cluded by asking whether it was understood by the Conference that war contibutions imposed before the armistice was known in Jutland could be collected during the suspension of arms; also, whether any war contribution were to be imposed after the armistice had become known, but, before the suspension of arms commenced on the 12th; and, also, whether any new war contributions were to be imposed during the suspension of arms ? Earl RUSSELL replied that the Conference had agreed that during the suspension of hostilities there should not be levied by the allied troops in Jutland or elsewhere, any contributions of war, and, on the contrary, they will pay for the articles they require for the troops. (Hear, hear.) The Conference did not lay down any rules with regard to the contributions previously imposed, but he believed the spirit of the article was that the allied troops should cease to levy contributions of war. That appeared to him to be the fair spirit of the meaning of the Conference, which was anxious to stop the effusion of blood, but was also anxious to stop those contributions of war ; but having decided on the main point, they have left it to the naval and military commanders and others interested to settle the details between each other. He was not authorised to say more. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH was sorry that nothing more definite had been decided upon. There was nothing he thought to prevent a lea' understanding that no new contributions were to be levied during the armistice. Earl RUSSELL—Not levy any contributions of war, not that they would not levy any new contributions. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH regretted that the Conference had not used the most decisive language to pre. vent the levying of any contributions imposed before the armistice. They seemed to have imposed the last contribu tion on the very last day on which the Conference met, in fraud of the Conference in fact. THE REGIUS PROFESSORSHIP OF GREEK (OXFORD) BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Lord LYTTLE TON presented a petition from the Arch deaconry of Bristol against the bill. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS--This Evening.

With regard to the second ques tion a communication had passed between the English and the French Governments on the subject, but it was consi. dared advisable not to come to any decision until the re. port had been . presented. THE CONFERENCE, Mr. R. LONG asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether the Minister for Foreign Affairs will continue to preside at the Conference, notwithstanding the exactions and oppressions alleged to have been perpetrated in Jutland by the orders of Marshal Wrangel; and, whether her Ma jesty's Government have protested and will protest against the commission of such outrages on non-combatants during the sittings of the Conference. Sir G. GREY said that what had occurred in Jutland was an additional reason for stopping the war, and, with a view to that object, the noble lord at the head of Foreign Affairs could not retire from his position. One of the ob jects proposed by the Conference was to make the Prussian troops pay for what they required instead of making levies on ucutral ground.

ALLEGED GRIEVANCES OF EXCISE OFFICERS- Mr. W. E. FORSTER asked the Treasury, when an answer would be given to the petition of the gaugers of her Majesty's Customs, London, praying for redress of grie vances ? Mr, PEEL said the conclusion which h a d b een arrived at on this subject would shortly ba communicated to the house. PURIFICATION OF THE THAMES. Mr. CLIFFORD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his attention had been called to the large discharge of gas tar refuse into the river Thames; and, whether he would set the law in motion to abate a nuisance so prejudicial to the health of the metro polis. Mr HUTT admitted the importance of the question, and said that a bill in reference to it was under consideration. POLICY TOWARDS CHINA. Colonel SYKES asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he would lay upon the table of the house copy of a despatch from Sir Frederick Bruce to Earl Russell, respecting the joint policy the Ministers of Russia, France, and America had agreed to pursue in China; and, copy of which he had furnished to Mr. Burlinghame, the American Minister, for communication to the American Government, and to which Mrßurlirghame referred in his despatch to Mr. Seward, dated Pekin, 20th June, 1863, and marked A of the enclosures ? Mr LAYARD said he did not consider it would be ad visable to lay the despatCh in question on the table at pre sent, as it related to the policy both of France and Russia, BANK OF ENGLAND ISSUE. Mr. HEYGA 1E asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, taking into account the vast increase of the trade and commerce of England in the last thirty years, he was of opinion that the arrangement of 1844, limiting the Bank of England to an issue of fourteen millions of bank notes without a corresponding amount of gold, was now com. mensurate with the daily monetary requirements of the country ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he found this question would not admit of an intelligent answer without going into a general statement, He agreed with the principles of the Act of 1844, but he considered there were secondary and subsidary provisions to which the attention of Parliament might be called with benefit. DEGREES OF MEDICINCE CONFERRED BY THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. Col. FRENCH asked the Secretary of State for the Home • Department if it was the fact that the Archbishop of Can terbury had the power to confer the title of Doctor of Medi cine on persons who had not undergone an examination before the College of Physicians, and said that the Arch bishop received £7O for every such title he conferred. Sir G. GREY said that he was not able to obtain all the information he required on this subject, but that he could state that there was an old act under which he could confer the degree of doctor of medicine. THE ALLEGED IMPRISONMENT FOR SLEEP ING UNDER A TENT. Sic G. GREY read a communication from a magistrate at Cornwall, stating that the parties whose case had been brought before Parliament, as having been unjustly im prisoned, were sent to gaol not for sleeping under a tent, but for vagrancy under circumstances that fully justified their committal. THE LATE VICE .PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL OF EDUCATION. Mr. LOWE entered into a personal explanation in refe rence to what had taken place in the house last night, when a document was produced which he had no oppor tunity of consulting. He said that there were two descriptions of reports to the committee, one of which was intended for publication, and the other merely special, and intended entirely for a department, and his observations on a previous occasion had reference solely to the former. With regard to Mr. Murrill he had been dis missed for misconduct, and he deprecated the practice of hon. members taking up the statements of discarded officials. After a few words from Col, FRENCH and Lord R. CECIL, the subject dropped. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE, Sir G. GREY, in the absence of Lord Palmerston, moved that the house at its rising should adjourn till Thursday next, which was agreed to. ALLEGED INFRACTION OF NEUTRALITY. Mr. T. BARING called the attention of the house to the fact that an armed steamer is now in the port of Liverpool which, having been originally manned and equipped from British ports, has preyed upon the commerce of a friendly na tion, and has never been in any port of he belligerent under whose flag she sails ; and asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether he thought the admissions of such vessels to British harbours consistent with our international obliga tions, our profess!ons of neutrality, and the preservation of British interests.
